Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses - Sarah J. Maas
Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses - Book #1 ACOTAR Series - May 2015
You know how there are series of people who are like "You have to read
this or else", this was one of those for me. I have had friends galore
recommending this series and then this year I decided to do a 12
recommendations by 12 friends reading challenge and one of those 12 books was
ACOTAR so here I am. I read it on Monday in one day and I have to admit, I
enjoyed it more than I thought I would. You see years ago, I was a big fantasy
reader and then one day I woke up and couldn't read it - I felt like I had
gotten fantasy burnout but now - I am back into this fantasy book rhythm and I
have been enjoying them. I have to admit as I began reading this book, I was a
little confused as if I had missed a chapter as it does jump straight into the
story of Feyre - the youngest of three girls whose family is poor. She is the
Katniss of the SJM ACOTAR universe, the hunter and the one providing for her
family. When Feyre is off hunting, she shoots a wolf who turns out to be Fae.
Tamlin -the Fae King of one of the kingdoms is angry and gives Feyre a choice -
to die or live the rest of her life in the kingdom and never see her family
again. She goes to the kingdom, but her heart is still with her family. However
of course over time, things change as she starts to fall for Tamlin and becomes
fast friends with Lucien and eventually frenemies with Rhysand whom you can see
she has a Love/Hate Relationship. I felt this book had a strong Beauty and The
Beast feel to it as we see a curse placed on Tamlin and his court that can only
be broken by love. Overall, I did enjoy this and I am looking forward to
reading and discovering the rest of the SJM universe of books as I also have
her other two series to read.
